Arsenal have some serious fire power coming through their academy and their star youngster, Bukayo Saka, is a prime example of that.
At 20-years-old, he is one of the top youngsters in the world and someone who is valued more than Liverpool’s Mo Salah.
According to CIES, Salah, who scored 23 Premier League goals for Liverpool last season, is valued at £47 million.
That’s far less than what the value is on Saka’s head, with the right-sided forward being valued at an incredible £85 million.
Perhaps Salah being nine years older than the Arsenal man plays a big part, but one thing is for sure, it shows that the Gunners have a player with serious worth on their hands.
There are suggestions that Saka could leave Arsenal if they don’t match his ambitions of wanting to win trophies, with both Liverpool and Manchester City keen to sign him this summer.
But if any of the Premier League’s top two come knocking for his services, then perhaps they should demand at least £85 million+ for their player.
Under Mikel Arteta, Saka is probably the first name on the team sheet and Arsenal’s most important player – and if they are to reach the top again, then he needs to stay.
Added with that, he is also a regular for England now and he started their 1-1 draw in Munich against Germany in the UEFA Nations League on Tuesday.
HAALAND MOST VALUED PREMIER LEAGUE PLAYER
Nonetheless, to put Saka’s value into context, compared with other Premier League players, Manchester City’s new recruit, Erling Haaland tops the list.
The Norway international is valued at a whopping £130 million, whilst his Manchester City teammate, Phil Foden, comes in at £105 million.
The most valuable Arsenal player is Saka, with Emile Smith Rowe coming next in line at £53 million.
